Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. Second Printing. Inscribed by Ellison to Frederick Douglass Patterson, the president of the Tuskegee Institute when Ellison was a student there. Good in a Fair jacket, unclipped ($3.50), heavy creasing, moderate chips and loss, multiple tears but all still in one piece. Grey and black buckram on the boards, soiled at spots and rubbed and frayed at the edges, white ink lettering rubbed at the spine. Square, bound with a black top stain, front hinge a bit over-extended most likely from the inscribing, clean otherwise. A remarkable association copy with a lengthy inscription by Ellison that seems to be his attempt to get out in front of Patterson's potentially reading Bledsoe as a stand-in for himself. In the novel, the president of a Southern all-black university admits that his motivations in leading the university are entirely selfish and expels the narrator from the school, sending him packing with meaningless letters of recommendation. If there was any question if Dr. Patterson served as the inspiration for the nefarious Dr. Bledsoe, Ellison's inscription clears it up: "For Dr. and Mrs. F.D. Patterson/With admiration and hope that the fiction herein in no way flaws their memories of the good things we shared, nor the good things they wished for me, when I was a student at Tuskegee/Sincerely/Ralph Ellison/April 1952".

Store Stamped. --- --- Invisible Man is a milestone in American literature, a book that has continued to engage readers since its appearance in 1952. A first novel by an unknown writer, it remained on the bestseller list for sixteen weeks, won the National Book Award for fiction, and established Ralph Ellison as one of the key writers of the century. The nameless narrator of the novel describes growing up in a black community in the South, attending a Negro college from which he is expelled, moving to New York and becoming the chief spokesman of the Harlem branch of "the Brotherhood", and retreating amid violence and confusion to the basement lair of the Invisible Man he imagines himself to be. The book is a passionate and witty tour de force of style, strongly influenced by T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land , Joyce, and Dostoevsky. . .See photos for additional content. . .
